   Pythagorus' theorem is credited to the Greeks.   
      
   Apparently the Babylonians had a similar theorem many years before Pythagorus.   
   Most Babylonian ideas would probably be available in ancient India.   
      
   Modern philosophers sometimes give blind credence to the Greeks, and overlook   
   the contributions of other cultures.
